I could see Vinga's "Heal Injury" as a general cure-all for small stuff (ie the "injury" level of wound). If you use my "level of severity" penalty of -15 (3 levels of difference between "Hurt" and "Dying"), a *really skilled* Vingan might be able to use it to cure a Dying person, but that's what, 45 or so HP spent on that particular affinity to simply overcome the penalty. Whereas a CA using "Heal Dying" would be able to to do exactly the same thing at beginning level...
